About Janine
Janine Hodge is a BACP-registered counsellor with seven years of clinical practice in the United Kingdom. She founded Courage2Be Counselling Services in 2019 and combines psychotherapy with coaching to support adults facing anxiety, low mood, self-doubt and emotional overwhelm. Janine also teaches counselling and supervises other clinicians, bringing practical experience from several professional roles.
She works in an integrative way, drawing on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-informed work. Sessions focus on identifying recurring patterns, understanding their origins, and reducing the noise of intrusive thoughts. Janine often helps clients who are trying to reconcile how they present to the world with who they want to be.
Her practice pays attention to issues common in early adulthood, including stress, relationship challenges, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also offers support around ADHD, grief, trauma and family-related difficulties. Conversations can cover practical strategies as well as deeper exploration of past experiences that shape current behaviour.
Janine aims to help people notice the habits that keep them stuck and to build new ways of responding. Work might include spotting attachment patterns, testing out small changes, and practising thought and behaviour strategies from CBT and ACT. She blends coaching tasks with psychotherapy to encourage progress between sessions.
Sessions are offered in English and are based in the UK. Janine asks people to use the site’s matching process to schedule an initial meeting and to check the available session options before booking.
Approaches you might try together and how online work fits
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions instead. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck between who you are now and who you want to be.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers practical techniques to test and change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood and supports measurable steps forward.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships. It can help when problems with trust, abandonment or relationship repeating cycles keep reappearing.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janine typically discusses options together and adapts methods based on the person’s goals, life situation and what feels useful in session. That collaborative decision-making helps shape a plan clients can use between meetings.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and travel, and they allow brief check-ins or longer focused sessions depending on daily pressures. Registered professionals can offer a practical mix of strategies and reflective work in remote appointments to help you make steady progress.
